WOKE OR AWAKE? Adopting a Biblical World View

10/15/2023

WHAT IS WOKEISM?

Willingly Overlooking Known Evil

GOOGLE

"Someone who is aware of,

and actively attentive to important facts and issues, especially issues

of racial and social injustice.”

It’s an authoritarian worldview that seeks to deconstruct the foundations of our Christian faith by overwhelming, overpowering, and overthrowing those who do not adhere to its ideology.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

WHAT AM I TO DO? Adopt A Biblical worldview

A comprehensive, panoramic perspective

from a particular standpoint.

Colossians 2:8-10

8 “See to it that no one takes you captive

through hollow and deceptive philosophy,

which depends on human tradition

and the elemental spiritual forces

of this world rather than on Christ.

9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity

lives in bodily form,

10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.

He is the head over every power and authority.”

BENEFITS TO A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

LOGICAL CONSISTENCY

EMPIRICAL ADEQUACY

EXISTENTIAL RELEVANCY

FIVE ASPECTS TO A WORLDVIEW

Victimhood IDENTITY In Christ

Galatians 4:7

“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child;

and since you are His child,

God has made you also an heir.”

Humanistic THOUGHTS Biblical

The National Science Foundation

12 - 50,000 thoughts per day

80% Negative

95% Reoccurring

2 Corinthians 10:5

“We demolish arguments

and every pretension that sets itself up

against the knowledge of God,

and we take captive every thought

to make it obedient to Christ.”

Subjective TRUTH Objective

John 8:31-32

31 “If you hold to My teaching,

you are really My disciples.

32 Then you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free.”

Central FEELINGS Byproduct

Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV)

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

And desperately wicked;”

Glorify Self LIVING Glorify God

Galatians 2:20

“I have been crucified with Christ

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

The life I now live in the body,

I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave himself for me.”

QUESTIONS

1. Is My IDENTITY In Christ?

2. Am I Taking THOUGHTS

and Making Them Captive?

3. Am I Living God's TRUTH and Not My Own?

4. Are My FEELINGS Subject to Truth?

5. Am I LIVING Out God's Greatness in All That I Do?
